Or .. if you're a bit techie .. go for the original Apple bluetooth module but need a bit of work..

@thx, swap the AVF dongle with your friend and see if it works, if not, then you may need to do something with your setup.

@annoy, for AMD, you may need to find a specific kernel hack to get it running. You can't use the stock kernel.. someone here might have hackintosh running on AMD platform.. but, sorry, I couldn't help much.

Anybody want to share their build here? Probably a guide on your own build and what needs to get things working on your build?

Don't remember exactly the price, but it way cheaper than the one listed in the HP website.

Simple guide to software RAID in hackintosh Lion:-

Things that you`ll need

1) A working hackintosh with the necessary kexts (FakeSMC , etc…) , a working DSDT for your motherboard, latest Chameleon (at least 1200) org.chameleon.Boot.plist and 2 new drives to set up the RAID drive. (SSD's would be perfect)

2) Fire up disk utility, create your raid disk by selecting RAID and add the disk you want to add to your RAID array. Create Raid Disk, name it what ever you want it, i named mine LionRaid

Attached Image

3) Select your volume "LionRaid" and click Information , copy your RAID Identifier "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" add this string in your org.chameleon.Boot.plist

Attached Image

<key>RootUUID</key>
<string>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</string>

4) Also add the UseKernelCache flag to your org.Chameleon.Boot.plist

<key>UseKernelCache</key>
     <string>Yes</string>

Your org.chameleon.Boot.plist should look something like this
CODE
∑<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Boot Banner</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>npci=0x2000</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1680x1050x32</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>USBBusFix</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>RootUUID</key>
<string>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</string>
<key>Theme</key>
<string>bootcamp</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>1</string></dict>
</plist>


5) Clone your working install to the new Raid Volume via Carbon Copy Cloner.

6) Copy all Kext from Extra/Extensions to the System/Library/Extensions folder on your RAID disk

Bootloader

1) Now we need to install the boot loader (Chameleon) on each of the RAID slice disk boot partition named "Boot OS X"
*"Boot OS X" is the 3rd partition on each of the RAID slice disk, this is where were going to put our Extra folder in it.

2) Copy Chameleon i386 folder(refer attached for Chameleon) and Extra folder (contains DSDT.aml, org.Chameleon.Boot.plist, smbios.plist, Themes) to desktop

3) Fire up terminal and Type: diskutil list

4) Locate your raid slice disk , Look for "Boot OS X" and its IDENTIFIER diskXs3 , where X is the disk number for first drive. 2nd drive should be diskYs3 (where X and Y is the disk number in your build)

5) Navigate to cd ~/Desktop/i386

6) Install boot0 to MBR of both disk:

CODE
sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdiskX
sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdiskY


7) Install boot1h to the boot sector of each "Boot OS X" partition

CODE
sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXs3
sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskYs3


13) Copy boot and Extra Folder to both "Boot OS X" partition

1st Partition

CODE
sudo diskutil mount diskXs3
sudo cp boot /Volumes/Boot\ OS\ X/
sudo cp -R ~/Desktop/Extra /Volumes/Boot\ OS\ X/
sudo diskutil unmount diskXs3


2nd Partition

CODE
sudo diskutil mount diskYs3
sudo cp boot /Volumes/Boot\ OS\ X/
sudo cp -R ~/Desktop/Extra /Volumes/Boot\ OS\ X/
sudo diskutil unmount diskYs3


Once the boot loader is installed on both of the RAID slice disk, run KextWizard tick
a) System/Library/Extensions
b) Repair Permissions
c) Rebuild cache
Target disk : choose your new Raid Disk
Click "Execute"

Once finish shutdown and remove your current boot drive or change the boot order to boot your RAID drive. At chameleon boot screen choose
the raid disk and boot into Lion.

Eveytime you add kext to /S/L/E remember to repair permissions.

Enjoy.

Thank you to vboyz and nathan7 from insanelymac forums link here and here, also to Janek for the KextWizard.

Some Benchies
read and write results with Crucial M4 RAID 0
Boot times improve tremendously.
